Description
The “What do you need” funds, administered by the Rice Center for Teaching at Williams College, are designed to provide rapid, targeted support to faculty and departments seeking modest resources to improve teaching. This program enables educators to request funding for small items or supplies—typically in the $100–200 range—that would significantly enhance their courses but are not available through regular departmental channels. The goal is to quickly address specific needs that can make a meaningful difference in the classroom experience.
